celeb news Nelly Furtado gives flowers to Janet, Gwen & Madonna in new interview

In the same light, Furtado recognizes that she also wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the women who came before her, listing the likes of Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Janet Jackson as early inspirations. Sharing a story she's never told before, Furtado details the time Stefani turned up to the video shoot for her single "Turn Off The Light" and heavily impacted the fashion for the visual.

 

"We were both watching an artist play at Universal Amphitheater and we both work with Sophie Miller, the video director. I was a huge No Doubt fan! She was wearing a Juicy Couture sweater and I literally asked my stylist to get me the same type of sweater. That's why I'm wearing an orange Juicy Couture sweater in the 'Turn Off The Light' video where Gwen Stefani came to visit me on set. It's like, man, with queens like that, you do get influenced,” she says. "It makes me happy even to share that story. Like, it's a small thing. It's a sweater. But, it's like, 'Oh my God, I've never seen a fuzzy hoodie, I want one.’ And then not only do I get one, but I wear it in my video. So this is how culture is created. Culture is just what people are doing. It's like a collage of influence.”

 

Referring to Stefani as "the homie,” Furtado recalls bumping into her at award shows where "she'd always hug me.” Furtado adds: "It sounds like such a cliche, but I'm gonna say it out loud. Queens recognize queens! You know what I'm saying? When I see younger artists killing it, I just get so inspired and happy and excited for them.”

It's crazy how, even if they couldn't sustain that level lf success, they dominated the industry during a period where the usual superstars were not around and they weren't even missed. LAMB, Loose and Dutchess eras were seriously massive and each one of these ladies carved out her own lane.
